What are Gall Stones ?

Gallstones are stone-like objects of digestive fluid that form in your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small sac located on the right side of the abdomen, just below the liver. It stores and releases bile, a fluid made in your liver that helps in the digestion process.

The size of gallstones ranges from as small as a grain of sand to that of a golf ball. Some people develop one gallstone, while others can develop multiple at the same time. You might not know you have gallstones until they block bile ducts that cause pain and need immediate treatment.
